We parked the car by the road and heres a pic looking up, you don't see the bit beyond that crest!

looking easterly to Meikle Bin (570m)
dunno a bit of hill! lol
again looking south to the city
Meikle Bin again

looking back up the hill
down the hill

Just to remind us that we were still in glasgow a burnt out fiesta
A nice day out and a good walk. The roads called the 'tak me doon' and those that know it well can cover it very quickly. |

yes it would!
Yeah I tried to talk Amber into walking to meikle Bin or round to the other neighbouring hills and down to the other car park. But she wasn';t having any of it.
We did well though considerign we are not in the best shape these days! |

Good effort. I haven't been out for a good walk in ages. Everytime I got spare time tho, like at a weekend I always end up working on the car tho 
MUST put aside some weekends for walking soon to get in shape a bit for Scotland. But I know I prolly wont. |

boring! lets go all the way to scotland and sit there doin feck all holding a stick!
not my idea of fun 
altho i did catch a seabass once, but that was on a boat out to see, and we were going back into port so i was given a stick to hold while we went back in....I thought I had snagged the bottom...hell of a pull on it, but no it was a lovely bass....
then later at home my mate was frying it on a little grill out in the garden, went to turn it over in the pan and dropped it in the mud. DOH! |
